It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Georgios Profiris, who peacefully passed away on 21st August 2024, at the age of 89.
Born in the village of Agios Andreas in Lakonia on 12th December 1934, Georgios carried the rich traditions and culture of his homeland with him to Australia, where he became a respected member of the community.
As a long-standing member of the Pan-Laconian Society of South Australia and a former member of the executive committee, Georgios played a vital role in preserving and promoting the Laconian heritage. His unwavering dedication to the Society reflected his deep love for Lakonia and its people.
Georgios was a devoted husband to Irini, a loving father and father-in-law to Yiannis and Marina, Anastasios, and Panagiotis and Elisabeth. He was also a cherished Pappou to Giorgio, Renae, Alexander, and Sophie, who were a source of immense pride and joy.
His legacy will endure through the lives he touched and the memories he created with his loved ones. Georgios will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and all who knew him, both in Australia and Greece. His life was a testament to the strength, resilience, and enduring spirit of Lakonia.
The funeral service will be conducted on Wednesday, 4 September, at 12:00 noon at the St George Greek Orthodox Church in Rose Street, Thebarton, followed by burial at Centennial Park Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers a memorial donation to the Hospital Research Foundation (Dementia) would be appreciated by the family and may be made online at: hospitalresearch.org.au
We extend our heartfelt condolences to the family during this difficult time.
May his memory be eternal.
